I respect the opinion but the only question I have to you is this. What does this mean for people that have tattoos of Jesus or bible verses on them?

@fatpatty99 I will say this to your question, no matter what the tattoo is, a person gets it in one of two areas. Either in a visible area of the body or a non visible area of the body. If you get it to be seen, then it is vain...even if it is a bible verse. If you get it where it can't be seen, then the person who gave it to you shouldn't have been looking there anyway...We are called to walk in the light as He is in the light, that He might shine through us through our actions and behavior...

@ifwefindsomething yeh this guy is weirdly legalistic, it's a simple matter that it is a person's choice, personally as a born again believer in Jesus, i think tattoos and piercings are wrong, sin, they damage you, skin cancer, & a host of other problems, & this guy acted so spiritual did he miss the part that when you get tattoos and piercings they open doorways for demons to come in and possess you just like acupuncture is a doorway for demons, i love all and Jesus can heal

@paden981 That doesn't even answer my question at all. You should have stopped when you said there is no verse in the bible that says getting a tattoo is a sin. There is nothing to support what you are saying other than your opinion. I think you should not try to tell people what is sin and what is not unless you have a black and white reason that is inspired by God that proves it so.

@paden981 And why do women have to wear veils? Oppressive patriarchy is the whole point of the bible. Have you not read the old testament where it says that a woman who is raped must marry her aggressor. What is this? To "protect" her? How is a man who just raped a woman going to just all of a sudden do a 180 and take care of the woman? The bible is full of this kind of crap. Also it says that it's wrong to kill but how many times did "righteous" men get permission to kill others?

1 Corinthians says that we are the temple of the Holy Ghost and we are not our own. We have been bought with a price by the blood of Jesus Christ. So my question to anyone claiming to be christian is did you get permission to get a tattoo from the one whom you now belong to and serve?

@fatpatty99 Shalom~ I pray that all is good. Please understand this that a tattoo is a tattoo. It does not matter if it has Jesus or bible verses on them. Ask yourself this question what is the difference between Lil Wayne having a symbol that represents Jesus Christ and Lecrae having a symbol that represents Jesus Christ?

Shalom~NXLEVEL

hahahhahaha.. it's body art, for you to express yourself, an accessory. I don't personally want tattoos and piercings but i accept those who have them and have to problems with them at all..

@paden981 Send me a pm and we can talk about. Btw, I am not the man in this video and I find tattoos to be quite differnt than wedding rings.

[JakeOfOwens]

@paden981 I think Jesus had words to say to some folks who were like you. Check Matthew 23: 25-28. I noticed you had a wedding ring. By the logic of argument, that wedding ring is vanity, even though the purpose of it is to remind you of your covenant with your wife. What if my tattoo is to remind me of my covenant with God as the bride of Christ? There are a number of theological flaws in your comment, and I'd love to talk to you about them, but there is simply not enough room in this comment.

[paden981]

@coffeedrinkingpreach It doesn't matter if you got them for yourself, if you got them and they draw undue attention to YOU then it is vainity. Bottom line. And yes it would apply to many other things such as exccesive jewelry. Either way, you can not justify getting one from the bible, so my question is this. Why get a tattoo? You DO NOT have to have one, do you?

[coffeedrinkingpreach]

@paden981 It is not only for vanity. I have mine for me to look at, and they each have a special significance. They are not just to have everyone ooh and aah over. This vanity argument would work against makeup and jewelry, too.
